My question is to Minister Wong. Minister, since dawn today, Israel has starved 13 more Palestinians and killed 105. Babies are withering away from Israel's man-made starvation, and people are pulling their loved ones out of rubble. This week the International Association of Genocide Scholars confirmed that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The head of IAGS said:

… This is a definitive statement from experts in the field of genocide studies that what is going on on the ground in Gaza is genocide … There is no justification for the commission of war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide, not even self defence …

The United Nations, Human Rights Watch, the International Federation of Human Rights, Amnesty International and many other groups have also declared that Israel is committing genocide. Minister, when will you admit that Israel is committing genocide and start using the 'g' word?
